I’ve just learned how to say fuck America

Also, the countless comments in praise of China and calling anyone they disagree with sinophobic.

As an American, I can say fuck America because that's my god given right.

The right to shit on your country is the most American thing ever.

Exactly. I'm American too and that's the entire point of the first amendment. I can burn flags, flip off police and politicians, and cover my car in unhinged stickers and a judge will side with me. As long as I don't threaten or hurt anyone (or cause too much of a disturbance), I'm good.

The TikTok ban should be unconstitutional and thrown out by the Supreme Court. If I want to let Winnie the Pooh spy on me (not saying that's what's happening), that's also my right, so back off and let me use foreign spyware instead of domestic spyware.

That said, I hate TikTok and think nobody should use it, but I'll defend my right to use it because who knows what they'll come after next. I also hate the CCP, love my country (US), and largely hate my government.
